The omega egg is used during the last wave of the Barbarian Assault minigame to defeat the Penance Queen. The omega egg is launched using the egg launcher. This is the only way the queen can be damaged and defeated. Each hit with the omega egg deals 30-39 damage.

The omega egg can only be shot if the wave's runners, fighters, healers, and rangers have been defeated.

A Yellow egg is converted into an omega egg through the following process:

• The Collector gathers Yellow eggs, which spawn near/under the Queen. The eggs are passed ("Use" option) to the Healer.
• The Healer dunks the eggs in the green poison pools, creating poisoned eggs. Once done, the eggs are given to the Attacker.
• The Attacker adds spikes to the eggs from the spiked mushrooms, creating Spiked/pois. eggs. The eggs are passed along to the Defender.
• The Defender dunks the eggs in the orange lava craters, turning them into omega eggs, and hands them back to the Collector.
• The Collector places them in the Egg Hopper, and the Egg Launcher is ready to be fired.
• Fire the egg. Anyone can fire the egg from the launcher, so it is advised that all team members except for the collector (who should be loading the eggs) and the team leader (the one who made the team with the scroll at the start) start shooting for a quicker kill. See the Barbarian Assault strategy guide for more information.

A simple mnemonic that can help remember this process is CHAD: Collector, Healer, Attacker, Defender, and back to the Collector.

Each egg hit deals 30 to 39 damage, and the queen has 250 hitpoints. Under reasonable assumptions (uniform independent damage distributions), one can calculate the probability of the queen dying with a certain number of hits:

• At least 7 hits are required: Probability of dying with exactly 7 hits is 14.9568%
• Usually 8 hits are required: Probability of dying with exactly 8 hits is 85.01889%
• In exceptional cases 9 hits are required: Probability of dying with exactly 9 hits is 0.02431%, about 1/4113.5
